I'm left with nothing....

Speedily down the street
Rrum rrum rrum rrum
Listen to the beat....

Bob was happy with his Mini Cooper
It drove great, making him an in-grouper.
But a hawk aloft dove speedily
Taking the car in his claws greedily.
Now Bob calls the hawk a party pooper....

Barn Raising
Dr. James E. Martin
©November, 2013

The barn was quickly raised.
The crowd was simply amazed.
They later were confused,
No one was amused,
As the barn was speedily razed....

rear loader garbage
truck stopped by site manager..
loud voices door slams

someone just had a 
chat with the boss losing war..
boss in pouring rain

truck drives speedily
away as fast as will go..
umbrella still stands 

Female boss/ male truck driver...

She is insatiable;predatory
In business always valedictory
Sees no conflict of interest in her position
Spurns financial disclosure requisition

She strides like a colossus, speedily
Eating smaller fry greedily
Using as an opportunity every disrupter
Allowing nothing or nobody to be an interrupter...

J-udgment day comes like a thief, 
O-nly God knows when; 
Y-ou must be prepared, your mind must be open.

G-uard your heart from lies, 
A-sk God for the truth; 
L-et both your ears
L-isten while your mouth is mute.
E-agerly run so fast, 
T-o speedily move forward; 
O-n the eighth of June, you must be on guard....

Listen, chicks and girls,
All around the world,
'Tis Happy Halloween,
This is our one true scene,
A time for our ghouls, 
And spiders' drools,
By candlelight,
Charms recite,
With female energy,
Fly broom to me,
Then uppity,
Fly so speedily,
Across the moon,
Reading this rune,
Away we'll zoom,
All our cars are brooms!...

So gracefully grazing the sky,
Higher than blue birds fly

Above the cauliflower clouds,
Below the starry crowds

Such a commanding machine of man,
Speedily sweeping the land;


Now carefully descending down,
Their gaze cast to the ground

A frightful fearsome eye,
A baby child's cry

Ensnared in a teething trap
The towers did collapse....

Unicorns 


Heavy is the tree that weeps
Deep  it  skins the knees 
Runny is the nose that blows
Speedily the river flows
Red are the cheeks that charm
Turnt backs do but harm
Burdened are its sighs
Its leaves subsides
Guitar strings and unicorns
Sprinkled with peppercorns 
A delicate delight 
Its spark ignite

No-one can match him
No-one can stand him
Worthy of his opponent
Tremendous against all odds
Killing his opponent
The person fighting is slow and tactful
While the person fighting back is speedily
Life’s awesome childhood
No-one can match thee
I will distinguish all fighters
You will make me mad
I will utterly destroy you
And humiliate you
Absolute madness
Death!...

Early vs. Late
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

An early start was his intent,
To accomplish this goal he must not relent.
A problem, however, arose in the mix,
Too many late hours he had earlier spent.

He speedily discovered to his dismay
That he could not stay up late and play.
Early to bed and early to rise
Would result in accomplishment of his intended way!...

I stand high on the podium today
Reciting my memoires clearly I say
I remember the times you mocked my walk
The days you turned your back and talked
Today I see you all look up at me
Listening to my speech so intently
Each guffaw is so suddenly silenced
Each sneer so speedily disappeared
I see admiration in each tearfilled eye today
But still I recall my pitied pleas echo away...

as always,the cycle af night and day 
produces weeks,month and seasons
the old year races fast
into the belly of a welcoming past
and a new one is speedily  emerging
from the pregnant womb of the morning

as the seasonal cycle procedes
every sunrise brings a day anew
and its dawn signalled another day to renew
may each cycle of days bring you
joy,happiness and strenght to see you through...

Everything goes,
Too fast!
The day the rain, man.
Anyway,
So fast!
The velocity  of cheetah
The extinct Velociraptor,
Stay up the trail, but...
Millions of years have passed,
The mountain, the hummingbird; will,
For than....
Recycle.
Tomorrow
Always will be the day,
To tell; Goodbye.
Today, Maybe,
But yesterday,
It only remains to wait,
Tomorrow.
Everything goes fast.
All too speedily....

Speedily sprouted, sheltering shrubs
Yes from sun-like Sirs
Planning to fertilize our farms
And mechanizing micro melons 

‘966 found them chopped
Them the Irokos
Ironically from well meant members
Yet again, they too felled

In their quest to unite and grow
Our hearts aches, bleeding and saturated
Yet our mouth guffaw
For our mother had lads

Sons that could lay inert
That others may sprout...

rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
raven, pigeon and skylark feasted on them and soil
children swam in ponds and played polo by turns
rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
grass hopper speedily hopped to come to terms 
snail left its hole and played around chess and recoil
rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
raven, pigeon and skylark feasted on them and soil

Every goddamned cake
You bake
I shall speedily take…

Not simply for its sake:
The fragile dreams it does awake!
A shimmering bluish water lake,
Where my unsafe love guesses I make;
Off tearing layers of my personal hatred, every flake
While watched from some metres by Eden’s Snake
I should be able to split into two with divine rake
 Resides, on my judgmental tongue
Your cake had never been fake!...

My heart is breaking, body aching,
Thoughts are pacing, and heart speedily racing.
You were what made me happy, What made me see the true me.
My tears are streaming down...
Im tired of everything seeming to be okay.
Nothing really goes my way.
I tried so hard to keep us together.
I guess our relationship wan't really "forever".
You had my heart, and lifted me up.
But now it seems like whe have just given up....

the grievance of his countenance 
bag with handles
brown eyes cast shadow on the ground
waxy candles

partway to work he found a pup
recklessly dead
‘my wife will suffer as i am’
his mind did dread

she approached the bag and looked in
was not her dog
her husband brought home a mistake
his head a log

speedily he called the number
gave some bad news
this pup certainly travels life
forging the blues

Day One
Dr. James E. Martin
©July, 2013

Day one of vacation is done.
It passed ever so fast.
How did it so speedily into oblivion run?
It’s supposed to forever last.

We only started the summertime fun,
And now day one is already done.
A beautiful day in the gulf coast sun,
We’re now one day nearer home!

Time surely slips away,
Except when one is at work.
So what about this should we cautiously say?
Forget work and focus on the perk!...

Thoughts For Today
By: Miracle Man
December 13, 2020

Today, idle thoughts dart by like comets,
enduring no longer than a dusting of snow.
They promptly return to whence they came?
leaving no revealing hints, they speedily go.

But as thoughts gravitate, to Christmases past,
and drift to those, some, long ago at rest.
Faces without names, or names without faces,
But one glimpse of the manger and I feel blessed.
